Movie quotes

  • (..) I told you because you busted me and I'm glad you did. I have been so focused on protecting Wyatt, I've completely forgotten about me. This month is my conception date. - Your conception date? - That's where I've been. Oracles, fortune-tellers, soothsayers, they all say the same thing. (..)
